This class is perfect for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of their DSLR and becoming more creative with their camera and their photography.

Fundamentals of Photography

Success with digital cameras begins with an understanding of the fundamentals of photography. In this class we will discuss ISO, shutter speeds and apertures and how they work together to control exposure. We will also discuss how to use them to take your images to a more creative level. We’ll talk about Depth of Field and how to control it, how to control motion, how and when to use a flash, and much more!

Advanced Digital Photography

This class is for those who have a good understanding of how their camera operates and of the fundamentals of photography—aperture, shutter speeds, ISO—and would like to take their photography to an even more creative level. We cover topics such as using Live View for critical focus, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography, learning to compose creatively, using off-camera flash, and shooting in Manual mode for fireworks and long exposures. We’ll also cover the differences between the many lenses that are available for your camera and how to choose the one that is right for you.

Digital Point and Shoot

This class will cover everything you need to know get started right with your compact digital camera. We’ll cover the basics, like charging your battery, playing and deleting images, and how to choose the right memory card for your camera. We’ll also go through how to use the key features of your camera, like which mode to use for different shooting situations, using your camera’s built in flash, menu navigation, and transferring your images into your computer. This is the perfect class for those who might be afraid of “all those buttons” on your camera, and for those interested in taking that next step towards taking better pictures.
